Loud  wasn't the word for it.  Although for a great cause, this small  
community cannot handle too many more of these types of events.  The  
innocent everyday tourist who arrives on days like yesterday vow never to  
return.




I remember back in '86 during my first trip out West I arrived in Sturgis  SD 
to discover that there was a vast bikers convention going on.  A day or  so 
later, I pulled into a little highway pull-off that featured a historical  
marker pointing out the ruts across the prairie left from an old wagon route to  
the Black Hills, and immediately after me pulled in a pair of Harley Davidsons  
ridden by the toughest, dirtiest, most villainous-looking bikers I had ever  
seen.  But my fears were quickly dispelled when one of them pointed at the  
marker sign and said, "Wow, that's cool!"  Bikers can dig history, too, I  
guess.
